Education support

The Education part of the CUSU Website will be updated over the course of 2008/9 in order to make it more functional and easier to navigate. Please bear with us while we aim to improve this. If you have any comments on this part of the website, please contact Ant, CUSU Education Officer.

In this section is helpful information about academic work, whether it is about study skills help, who to go to if you have a problem or what you can expect from a supervision. There is also information here about people who represent you on education issues and what they can do for you.

If you have any academic-related queries and can't find the answer on these pages, please do not hesitate to contact the CUSU Education Officer.

CUSU Education Team

The CUSU Education Team meets weekly at a time TBC during Full Term in the CUSU Conference Room. They discuss, act upon policy passed by Council and structure the work that CUSU does on Educational matters within the University. Anyone is free to attend the meetings and participate in them. Find out more about those on the CUSU Education Team, their roles and how you too can get involved.

CUSU Learning and Teaching Strategy (LTS)

The CUSU LTS was passed by CUSU Council in Michaelmas IV 2007, and forms a large part of CUSU's Strategic Objectives with regards to a number of educational issues highlighted by the University in their LTS. This Strategy is effective immediately and is due for full review in 2009.
